Crossing the street. Is it that simple? One of a four-panel comic at chilltownblues.com #chilltownblues #comicsky #comic #art #cat #blues
A cat has hopped over to the sidewalk where on top of a fence is a bird, a pigeon, playing the harmonica. The cat tells the pigeon, "Hey, bird. Instead of playing the blues over it, be like me and do what the dogwalkers say. If you don't like it you can move. I've just mastered the art of crossing the street.
